单选题
The sizzling streams of sunlight were just
beautifully glimmering down on the crisp green schoolyard. Such a wonderful day
that was. Nothing could have mined it. Little Jimmy, since it was such a
wonderful day, decided to go to the corner store and but himself a little treat.
As Jimmy started walking over to the store, clouds flocked over the dazzling sun
and the sudden pitch dark meant to trouble. On the other side of the road were
three white boys from Jimmy's same school. Upon recognizing Jimmy, the boys ran
over the street to where he was. "Hey! Negro, what's up?" one
of the white boys said. "Did your mamma pack you enough to eat
today?" another hooted. "Just leave me alone," Little Jimmy
said. "Oh! no, Jimmy's really getting pit off!" the first boy
retaliated. "Just shove off and let me be", Jimmy
answered. It is like this everyday, everywhere, and every time,
people suffer discrimination. All because they have differences amongst each
other. Different beliefs, different cultures, different skin colors, all of
these act like building blocks to help construct what we know as
Racism. Racism has become one of the many burdens amongst
multi-cultural worlds like Canada and the States. Racism is a part of each every
one of us. No doubt, we are all racist,but the term racism has been used too
loosely. Racism has been mutated to such an extent that it could be a reason for
war, a symbol of terrorism, and even an excuse for neglecting.
Is that all there is to it? No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is
just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral.
Nobody is exempt from this demon. He has haunted us with a bitter curse.
On one occasion I remember, nobody would play with me at school. I would walk
around by myself and ask people if we could play together. Everywhere that I
went, like the process of induction, everyone would avoid me, like two inducted
poles with the same polarity, they would just shimmer off into the distance and
continue to do whatever they're doing. Because of racial differences, they
neglect me. People are afraid of the unknown, and it is this
difference amongst people that spread mors and distrust amongst people.
Corrupting our thoughts and reasons, we get accustomed to thinking differences
are omens. Amongst smaller kids, there is no difficulty in getting them to all
play together. Their thoughts are not totally corrupted as others. Probably the
demon has no time to bother with smaller children.
